Please do check tantivy out. Absolute stunner!!!

This crate is just a convenience crate over tantivy.

TODO

• Add more examples
• Cleanup tmp folder left behind from test cases
• Remove any further copy
• Introduce more housekeeping API (If required)

Features

• Full text search
• Serialize *flat* JSON/Struct
• Easy write and read API
• Write multiple documents together
• Depends mostly on stable crates
• Support fuzzy word search (see examples)
• Requires no runtime
• No unsafe block
• Run on rust stable

Motivation

• Allow your existing flat rust structs to be searched
• Encoded/Decoded byte streams can be stored along side too, as base64 encoded string
• This can just act as a container to actual data in databases, keeping indexes light
• Create time-aware containers which could possibly updated/deleted
• Create ephemeral storage for request/response
• This can integrate with any web-server to index and search near real-time
• This crate will focus mostly on user-workflow(s) related problem(s)
• Again, tantivy is a great library, do check it out

Quickstart

Prerequisite:

toml [dependencies] json-surf = "*"

Example

```rust use std::convert::TryFrom; use std::fs::removedirall;

use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};

use json_surf::prelude::*;

/// Document to be indexed and searched

[derive(Serialize, Debug, Deserialize, PartialEq, Clone)]

struct OldMan { title: String, body: String, }

impl OldMan { pub fn new(title: String, body: String) -> Self { Self { title, body, } } }

/// Convenience implementation for bootstraping the builder impl Default for OldMan { fn default() -> Self { let title = "".tostring(); let body = "".tostring(); OldMan::new(title, body) } }

/// Convenience method to keep indexes tucked under a directory fn homeandrandomindexname() -> (String, String) { let home = ".store/examples".tostring(); let name = randomstring(None); (home, name) }

fn main() { let (home, name) = homeandrandomindexname();

// Mostly empty but can be a real flat struct
let data = OldMan::default();

// Prepare the builder instance
let mut builder = SurferBuilder::default();
// By default everything goes to directory indexes
builder.set_home(&home);
builder.add_struct(name.clone(), &data);

// Make the Surfer
let mut surfer = Surfer::try_from(builder).unwrap();

// Prepare your data or get it from somewhere
let title = "The Old Man and the Sea".to_string();
let body = "He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.".to_string();
let old_man = OldMan::new(title, body);

// Insert the data so that store has only one document
let _ = surfer.insert_struct(&name, &old_man).unwrap();
println!("Inserting document: 1");

// Give some time to indexing to complete
block_thread(1);

// Lets query our one document
let query = "sea whale";
let computed = surfer.read_structs::<OldMan>(&name, query, None, None).unwrap().unwrap();
// Check one document
println!("Total documents found: {}", computed.len());
assert_eq!(computed, vec![old_man.clone()]);

// Insert the data so that store has two document
let _ = surfer.insert_struct(&name, &old_man).unwrap();
println!("Inserting document: 1");

// Give some time for indexing to complete
block_thread(1);

// Lets query again for two documents
let query = "sea whale";
let computed = surfer.read_structs::<OldMan>(&name, query, None, None).unwrap().unwrap();
// Check two documents
println!("Total documents found: {}", computed.len());
assert_eq!(computed, vec![old_man.clone(), old_man.clone()]);

// Lets add 50 more documents
let mut i = 0;
let mut documents = Vec::with_capacity(50);
while i < 50 {
    documents.push(old_man.clone());
    i = i + 1;
};
let _ = surfer.insert_structs(&name, &documents).unwrap();
println!("Inserting document: 50");

// Give some time for indexing to complete
block_thread(2);

// Lets query again to get first 10 documents only (default settings)
let query = "sea whale";
let computed = surfer.read_structs::<OldMan>(&name, query, None, None).unwrap().unwrap();
// Check 10 documents
println!("Total documents found: {} due to default limit = 10", computed.len());
assert_eq!(computed.len(), 10);

// Lets query again to get all stored documents
let query = "sea whale";
let computed = surfer.read_structs::<OldMan>(&name, query, Some(100), None).unwrap().unwrap();
// Check all 52 documents
println!("Total documents found: {} with limit = 100", computed.len());
assert_eq!(computed.len(), 52);

// Clean-up
let path = surfer.which_index(&name).unwrap();
let _ = remove_dir_all(&path);

} ```
